Dear Friends,

Serving at Bella for more than three decades has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. I’ve seen many changes over the years, but one thing has never changed—the steady, strong hearts of those who serve here. Together, our hearts beat for the women and families God brings to us, and for the Lord who called us to this ministry. What a joy it is to serve Him through Bella!

I am so thankful for each individual, family, church, and business who has partnered with us. You make this work possible. Some of my sweetest moments have been watching the look on a young woman’s face when the baby she once thought of as a ‘mistake’ becomes the very light of her life. That’s the miracle of hope—and it’s something I never tire of seeing.

The promise of Jeremiah 29:11 keeps me going: ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ That truth has carried so many of our clients—and it continues to carry me, too.

In these uncertain times, people need hope more than ever. At Bella, we get to be the hands and feet of Jesus, offering practical help, encouragement, and His love—often to those who may never set foot inside a church.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with us. Your prayers, your gifts, and your love mean more than I can ever say. Together, we are sharing hope and life in the name of Jesus Christ.

In Joyful Service, 

Roxie Johnson
Executive Director
